Hey all! After messing with my lights again today on a small family shoot, my kids!, I found myself moving a lot and hence needed to change my light power often. I use skyports now, which rock and have not failed. I would love to be able to adjust my AB800's from a commander.
Does Elinchrom have anything similar or should I just go the PCB way? thanks all.

The only elinchrom triggers that can control the power of the light are the skyport RX triggers. Those will only work with elinchrom lights, and only specific lights at that (300RX, 600RX, 1200rx, 500Bxri, Rangers, Quadra, etc.)

So if you want to stay with PCB lights, and you want to change the power remotely, you'll won't be able to use the skyports.
